Summer of Saget (IV): Congress, Where Dreams Go to Die.

September 3, 2017

More pictures after the break. For the Canadians in the audience, America is not a Democracy, it’s actually a Republic–which means the legislature (here, Congress) is separated from the executive branch of government (here, the Presidency). This means not much gets done, and Congress takes most of the abuse for that.

The actual building is called the US Capitol:

Each State is allowed to put two statues of whoever/whatever they want in Statuary Hall.

DPRK Spy, deep cover:

The statue to commemorate slaves who built the Capitol… well… budget cuts:

“Floor below rotunda nicknamed the crypt…Washington supposed to be buried here….that star is worn down by 240+ years of people rubbing it for luck” [We’ll go under the 240, thanks.–Ed.]
